A FINANCE company has celebrated its tenth anniversary by raising £3,000 for a local charity.

Trustlaw Financial Services, in Stockton, raised the money for the Butterwick House Children's Hospice at a party at the company's offices.

Director Stephen Gibbens also used the event to welcome Rosemary Young, formerly of Jacksons Law Firm, who has joined Mr Gibbens in the launch of Trustlaw Solicitors LLP.

Hospice chief executive Graham Leggatt-Chidgey said: "We were delighted to be associated with Trustlaw's tenth anniversary celebrations, which generated a magnificent £3,000 for the hospice."
